IT has been more than a decade since he last picked up a racquet to play professionally, but Boris Becker still maintains a firm grip.
The former tennis player, 45, showed no signs of letting his wife go as the two posed for a friend while on holiday in Spain.

The pair, who married in 2009, had been soaking up the sun with their three-year old son Edley and his other children Elias, Noah Gabriel and Anna from previous relationships.
The couple were spotted embracing and kissing on holiday in Formentera, Spain, with Mrs Becker showing off her figure in a black bikini.

The tennis pundit has been capturing his holiday activities on social networking site Instagram tagging his Dutch wife Lilly as the ‘ Captain of my heart’.
